bowl ad. >> what am i going to make with this? >> meow. >> whit: hoping to score with the fans. >> janai: good morning, america. oh, my gosh. >> gio: you're back. >> janai: i am. >> whit: she's back. >> janai: i am back. i'm stress sweating. there's a lot going on. >> whit: and tmi right out of the gate. >> janai: oh, my gosh, it's all the hormones. so excited to be back. finished maternity leave. it was the most wonderful time. oh, my gosh. >> gio: we missed you. >> whit: we certainly did. >> janai: thank you, and it feels -- i'm just so grateful to have had that time and come back and be with you guys. i feel very, very -- >> whit: there was a buzz in the studio this morning. we had extra security to deal with the paparazzi. >> janai: yeah, as lucky as i feel, you're the real lucky one. >> whit: hr staff for the morning.
7:03 am
the whole thing. welcome back. >> janai: of course, so wonderful to see so many faces, and, of course, i am back on a very busy weekend. wall street reaching a milestone. the s&p 500 finishing above 5,000 for the first time on friday helped by positive inflation news. >> whit: more on that ahead. also following developments in the middle east. benjamin netanyahu directing his military to plan for the evacuation of rafah. that's where more than a million civilians are sheltering as israel roots out remaining hamas fighters there. >> gio: we begin with the dramatic and deadly emergency landing in florida. look at that right there. a plane coming down on i-75 and colliding with a vehicle. two people were killed, and this morning, an investigation is under way. this morning, a horrifying scene on a florida highway. >> oh, my god. oh, my god. oh, my god. oh, my god. >> gio: a private jet with five people on board up in flames after making a crash landing near naples, leaving at least
7:04 am
two people dead. >> yeah, it's a big one. >> gio: authorities say the jet, a bombardier challenger 600, headed to the naples airport on friday. >> we won't make the runway. we've lost both engines. >> gio: the pilot reported both engines failed upon final descent, the jet quickly collided with a vehicle going southbound on i-75. that was just after 3:00 p.m. >> you guys okay? what's going on? >> i can't tell you for sure, but it didn't look good. >> gio: dozens of emergency and rescue teams rushing to the scene searching for survivors. three miraculously making it out alive. joe robinson passing by, watching it all. >> as i passed by the crash, i could feel the heat from it as i was driving by the opposite side of the highway, so it seemed pretty catastrophic, pretty intense. >> gio: police closing down a major stretch of the highway as investigators try to pinpoint just what went wrong. >> one of the key elements they'll start off with is how much fuel was on the airplane when it started out and how much would it have burned. when you land a business jet,
7:05 am
your power is up, and if you lose an engine or both engines, you're going to know about it immediately. >> gio: and one of the big questions here is why both of those engines failed. that's actually very, very strange. steve ganyard, one of our aviation experts, says says usually that's because you run out of fuel, but in this case we saw all of those intense flames, and that suggests that there was still fuel on board. so many questions this morning. >> whit: such an alarming crash. absolutely. thank you, gio, for that. also, this morning, we're following president biden, who is on defense now, after the special counsel's report on his handling of classified documents, and his republican rivals see an opportunity. abc's senior white house correspondent selina wang joins us now with the latest reaction. selina, good morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning, whit. sources tell us that the president is fuming over the special counsel's report, and the white house is now in damage control mode. they know that the president is legally cleared, but any political damage could last longer. this morning, the white house on
7:06 am
the defense, doubling down on president biden's mental fitness and slamming the special counsel's report. >> as a former prosecutor, do you think the special counsel's report is fair? >> the way that the president's demeanor in that report was characterized could not be more wrong on the facts and clearly politically motivated, gratuitous. >> reporter: special counsel robert hur declined to prosecute the president for his handling of classified information. >> these assertions are not only misleading, they're just plain wrong. >> reporter: but the report describes the president as a well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory, and diminished faculties in advancing age. the president furious at the special counsel's suggestion that he could not even remember when his son beau died. >> how in the hell dare he raise that. frankly, when i was asked the question, i thought to myself, it wasn't any of their damn business. >> reporter: the white house ripping the report for questioning the president's mental acuity. >> good afternoon, afternoon.
7:07 am
that part of the report we don't think lives in reality. >> reporter: but republicans already seizing on the report. nikki haley saying, the white house is not a taxpayer subsidized nursing home. trump runs about even with the enfeebled biden. he would get crushed by a democrat with a pulse as democrats rush to defend the president on the campaign trail. >> it's just a smear and cheap shots and taking things out of context. trump is going on 78, and the president is 81 years old. >> reporter: now, the biden campaign, they are brushing off this report. one campaign official telling me that they believe voter views of the president's age are already baked in, and while there may be concerns about the president's age, they believe voters care more about the issues that president biden is running on, like defending democracy and abortion rights. janai? >> janai: certainly a number of issues that voters are talking about. selina, thank you. at the same time president biden is increasingly critical of israel's offensive in gaza. this as the idf appears poised
7:08 am
to expand its ground war further south where thousands of civilians have fled for safety. abc's foreign correspondent james longman is live in israel. james, good morning to you. we were just hearing about a potential cease-fire. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. that's dominated the conversation for the last few days. the chances of a cease-fire that now israel is saying it wants to launch an incursion into rafah, but that is where more than a million people have gone to for safety. prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he wants to see an evacuation of that city. rafah is gaza's last city standing, but this morning israeli forces have been ordered to evacuate civilians ahead of a ground operation. more than a million people have fled here to escape the fighting elsewhere. rafah is gaza's southernmost city along the border with egypt. its population is six times what it was at the start of the war. families homeless and desperate with nowhere left to go. unicef says there are 600,000 children here.
7:09 am
many living in these makeshift tent cities like 12-year-old fauzi. he is from khan younis, which is now a battlefield. "we want a solution," he says, "a cease-fire for the war to end and us to go to our homes and school." they're warning an expansion of hostiles could turn rafah into a zone of bloodshed and destruction that people won't be able to escape, but israel says they're pursuing four hamas battalions, and netanyahu said israel will not stop until it achieves total victory. the u.s. is ratcheting up its criticism saying it would not support an israeli ground operation into the city without due consideration for the civilian population, and as hamas says, the death toll nears 28,000, and president biden has had some of his harshest criticism yet for the operation in gaza. he's called it, over the top. there's a sense after more than 4 1/2 months of this war from
7:10 am
the u.s.' perspective at least that israel might be on borrowed time. gio? >> gio: james, thank you so much for your reporting. now, to two earthquakes felt by millions, one in southern california, another in hawaii. jaclyn lee is in l.a. with more on that. good morning, jaclyn. >> reporter: hey, gio, good morning to you. yes, very scary moments for residents on the west coast, first in hawaii then los angeles. so let's start with hawaii. a 5.7 magnitude earthquake hitting the big island centering on mauna loa, which is the world's largest active volcano. you can see in surveillance video merchandise falling off shelves at local stores and reports of people feeling the quake on other islands. officials quickly shutting down fears of a tsunami saying it would not happen. that was the biggest concern, and the good news is no serious damage reported. just a few hours later here in los angeles, a 4.6 magnitude earthquake hit just northwest of malibu. now, this was felt by millions. there was the initial shock. residents were at home. people have submitted their surveillance videos just -- they were trying to figure out what was going on with items falling
7:11 am
off those shelves. there were several aftershocks in the moments after. now, scientists do want to clarify, there was no relation between the two earthquakes. again, the good news is, no serious injuries or serious damage. whit? >> whit: that is good news. jaclyn lee, thank you. now, to the urgent manhunt happening in tennessee. authorities are searching for a suspect they say is armed and dangerous, accused of killing one officer and wounding another. abc's phil lipof is here now with the latest. phil, good morning. >> reporter: whit, good morning to you. what sheriff's deputies say was a simple traffic stop quickly turned violent, and this morning the man who police say pulled a gun and shot at deputies point blank is still on the run. this morning, a manhunt still under way in tennessee for the suspect accused of shooting two deputies during a traffic stop killing one of them. >> i have an officer down, gunshot. >> two officers. >> two officers down with gunshots. >> reporter: thursday night authorities say 42-year-old kenneth dehart jr. was pulled
7:12 am
over by deputies in blunt county. they say he refused to get out of the vehicle. during that encounter, deputies deployed a taser with no effect, and that's when they say dehart pulled out a gun and opened fire. >> we have one officer that is not breathing at this time. >> reporter: 43-year-old deputy greg mccowan was shot and killed. his 22-year-old partner, deputy shelby eggers, shot in the leg. >> she did her job, and she's lucky to be alive. >> reporter: eggers able to return fire, but dehart got away. >> suspect fled back toward town. >> reporter: dehart is still at large and now facing first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder charges. his brother marcus dehart and girlfriend carrie matthews arrested and charged with accessory after the fact. police now urging residents in the area to check their outdoor security and doorbell cameras for any video or photos of dehart. there is also a reward for information leading to his arrest.
7:13 am
>> it might be today or tomorrow but we're going to get him, and he will be brought to justice. >> reporter: right now he's still on the loose. the hunt for kenneth dehart continues at this hour. his brother, marcus, who we just told you about is being held on $1 million bond and is scheduled to be in court first thing monday. janai? >> janai: important reminder that that manhunt continues at this hour. phil, thank you. switching gears now to our super bowl countdown, and a close look at the heightened security as las vegas hosts its first nfl championship game tomorrow. abc's will reeve is live there. oh, that time difference, will. i feel for you. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, janai. it's so nice to hear your voice. welcome back. they say there is nowhere safer to be than the super bowl, but what exactly does that entail? it means that from the ground to the air, law enforcement has to be on their game, and i got a firsthand look. this morning, just one day away from super bowl lviii, and excitement is reaching a fever
7:14 am
pitch. over 70,000 fans expected to pack allegiant stadium. law enforcement says they're ready from the ground to the air. >> squad 4237. >> reporter: 40 federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, both seen and unseen, will be keeping close watch, and while there are no specific credible threats against the game, according to a threat assessment obtained by abc news, lone offenders remain law enforcement's biggest concern. >> this is the best view. >> reporter: i flew above the stadium for a firsthand look with the u.s. customs and border protection air and marine operations. this asc-350 is outfitted with infrared technology. >> so we are going to have the black hawk helicopters there responsible for enforcing the temporary flight restriction. the a star helicopters are responsible for aerial surveillance. >> reporter: officials putting a
7:15 am
temporary flight restriction order in place for sunday. >> what happens if there's something amiss? what happens next? >> at that point we are able to communicate with our federal and local law enforcement agents on the ground so that they can handle anything that they need to. >> reporter: inside the stadium over 60 k-9s deployed. officials using advanced scanning technologies to stop and seize counterfeit nfl merchandise, and tsa agents at harry reid international airport prepared to screen over 118,000 departing passengers and crew on monday, expecting to break 24-hour screening records. >> everybody is in this game because las vegas is betting on us to secure them, and that's what we're going to do. >> reporter: rest assured, this place is very secure, but homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas said this week -- i want to quote here -- when there's an additional celebrity who will bring more attention, we're already at a heightened state of vigilance and fulfilling our responsibility just as we do every single day. he's talking about taylor swift, of course. we don't know if she's going to be here, but if she is, she'll be safe. gio. >> gio: yep, and so will
7:16 am
everyone else. all right. will, thank you so much. turning to the economy now, a new record on wall street and the latest inflation numbers building hope that an interest rate cut is just around the corner, and alexis christoforous is here to break it all down. >> good morning, gio. it was one for the record books on wall street yesterday. the stock market's main index, the s&p 500, crossing a major milestone closing above 5,000 for the first time ever and giving a boost to americans' retirement savings. investors applauded news that inflation in december was even lower than first thought. revised numbers from the government show consumer prices rose just 0.2% late last year. less than the 0.3% originally reported. now, while that's not a big change, it does confirm that the federal reserve is making progress in its fight against inflation, and it could give the fed more wiggle room to start cutting interest rates later this year. while inflation may be cooling, it is taking a painfully long time to trickle down to household budgets. take rent prices, they've been a
7:17 am
huge driver of inflation. the average rent nationwide now tops $1,700, 22% higher than in 2019. at the same time, student loan payments have restarted for millions of borrowers making it that much harder for them to afford to rent or buy a home. next week's january inflation numbers could give the fed more confidence to cut rates sooner rather than later. it would certainly be welcome relief for consumers still struggling from years of high interest rates and high prices. guys? >> whit: yeah, the cost of housing is such a huge factor. people, even though the economy might be better, many people aren't feeling it for that reason. >> janai: $1,700 for the average rent. that's insane. >> whit: alexis, thank you so much. we appreciate it. let's turn to the weather. somara theodore is here and watching storms in the south. >> somara: good morning. janai, welcome back. we got so much to fill you in on. okay, so in central arkansas we had tennis-ball size hail and saw wind that is uprooted trees
7:18 am
and look at this, in little rock, the sky rocked by lightning. this was overnight. this will be the visual for a lot of folks in the south. rounds of heavy rain getting ready to move through, so all the way to knoxville we have the significant threat for flash flooding for your saturday. keep that in mind. so timing this out, 2:00 a.m., so this is really a nocturnal event, texas, san antonio, looking at the threat for very heavy rain, damaging winds. by midnight we will start to see that move into new orleans, and monday this threat shifts into georgia, the florida panhandle and parts of the c
7:19 am
>> somara: that's your local forecast. >> somara: that's your local forecast. gu guy fieri -- guy, these storms are hitting at night. we stress this all the time. there is a threat for an isolated tornado, so folks have to have alerts and ways of getting notified. >> janai: so important when storms are overnight. somara, thank you. now to some of the most notable fans expected in the super bowl stands tomorrow. whit, we are not talking about you. >> whit: you're not talking about me, but i'll be there. >> janai: from a former miss universe to a doctor, an engineer and an up-and-coming clothing designer. melissa adan is in las vegas with some of the nfl's biggest supporters. good morning, melissa. >> reporter: good morning, janai. let's hear it for the women that supporting these super bowl players, and like the saying goes, it takes a village. meet some of the families supporting the players headed to super bowl lviii. wives and girlfriends, moms, pop stars. >> for the touchdown. >> reporter: fashion designers and doctors among the ranks
7:20 am
cheering on their partners including psychiatrist mindy armstead married to 49ers defensive lineman erik armstead. she says for them it's a happy balancing act. >> my career is such a passion for me. it isn't necessarily an added stress, and i think erik feels the same way about football because that's his passion. we recognize i may not be at everything he would like me to be at and vice versa. ♪ >> reporter: and self-taught clothing designer kristin juszczyk who is married to kyle juszczyk recently dropped her first nfl licensed design. electrical engineer hannah sand supporting her boyfriend of nearly four years, niners linebacker, dee winters. >> i just think it's important to note each woman regardless of who she has next to her is their own independent woman, and they need to be supported too. >> reporter: as for some of the queens of chiefs kingdom, there is of course momma kelce who has been supporting two sons in the
7:21 am
nfl and several endorsement deals and brittany mahomes, a former soccer player and nutritionist now part owner of the kansas city current, a woman's soccer team and mother and amina smith, wife of chief safety deion bush says her dreams are rooted as a first generation american from barbados. >> i just always think back to my great grandma coming to this country and taking that job and my grandmother helping me get through college, as well. i always think back to those moments, and i'm, like, okay, it's great my husband has this amazing job following his dreams, but i can't give up what i'm doing. >> reporter: i love that, and, look, we know all too well that taylor swift is one of the new popular w.a.g.s, but, look, if she wants to make it to the super bowl, i hope she's ready for it. she has her tokyo concert, so if she wants to cheer on her lover she better make it here on time

7:32 am
the teen arrived from venezuela in september. he was living in a migrant shelter. a tourist from brazil was hit in the leg. >> janai: and today kicks off the 15-day festival celebrating lunar new year. many asian cultures use this as a time for feasting and honor household and heavenly deities, as well as ancestors. 2024 is the year of the dragon. the dragon represents vigor, strength and good fortune. >> gio: i love that, the year of the dragon. all right. and we are going to start this half hour here with a closer look at the top political headlines this week. joining us are deputy political director averi harper here and abc white house correspondent maryalice parks. welcome to you both again. maryalice, let's start with you and let's talk about the special counsel's report there on the president's handling of classified documents. you were in the room there for that fiery press conference on thursday. what was it like? >> clearly the president wanted to put the issues of the documents to rest. he wanted to come out and
7:33 am
emphasize he was exonerated, that he cooperated, but on those references to his age, he was seething. his anger was palpable in the room. gripping, almost red in the face. i asked him, has your memory gotten worse? he was stern. he was clearly frustrated by the question. he said, my memory is fine, almost short, but, look, over the course of the rest of the questions, you saw it, he got more angry, more dismissive of voters' concerns, and i don't think that tact is working for him. anger isn't joe biden's brand, and it's not the kind of thing voters want to hear. they want to feel heard on this. they don't want to feel like their concerns, what they're seeing with their own eyes is being dismissed outright. i did think it was interesting yesterday i saw a tweet from an obama senior staffer, former, dan pfeiffer and he said -- i thought this was an insightful reminder of how washington works. he said, you know, biden meets with republicans, with ceos every single day. tons of people. his argument was, if the memory lapses were really as bad as depicted in that special
7:34 am
report, we would have heard about it. there would have been leaks. i actually think there's something to that. if democrats were really worried about him and his ability to run, i think there would have been leaks, but big picture, he has to find a way to talk about this that's not just him sounding angry and offended by the question. >> janai: but there's so many questions about why it wasn't more tactful. you found out about it last minute before the press conference and wondering how the white house didn't address it before that. averi, to that point though there is vulnerability for former president trump too, i mean. talking about age, there's not a big difference between the two. >> there are americans concerned about trump's age as well. he's only about four years younger than president biden, and when we look at polling, we do know that age is a bigger vulnerability for biden than it is for trump. there was a recent nbc news poll that came out that said 76% of voters had concerns about biden's age versus only 48% of voters who have a concern about trump's age, and so that should ring an alarm within the biden campaign. they have to find a way to talk about this.
7:35 am
they've largely shied away from the issue of biden's age, but every trip-up, every mistake that he makes on the campaign trail is going to resurrect questions about his age. >> whit: next up, big news at the supreme court this week. those extraordinary oral arguments. we actually heard the justices talking about whether or not trump could be on the ballot in some states because of his role on january 6th. what's next in this case? >> this is all about the 14th amendment. there is a clause within it that says, if you have taken an oath to protect the constitution and participate in an insurrection, that you should be barred from holding public office. what we heard from the justices was really skepticism from colorado's argument that they could remove former president trump from the ballot citing that amendment. so, it is very likely that we could see a reversal of that decision on colorado's case. it could also have implications for the other cases and similar efforts in states across the country to remove former
7:36 am
president biden -- excuse me -- trump from the ballot. >> gio: maryalice, let's talk about the border deal. the border deal basically collapsed this week. what can the president do or what can't the president do. >> it's worth remembering this was a conservative deal. this was not comprehensive immigration reform. the white house didn't love everything in this deal. it didn't have something for dreamers. it didn't have a big discussion about a pathway to citizenship. this was a national security deal focused on the border, and still it was republicans that walked away from this. i mean, we saw record numbers of encounters at the border in december, and they picked not to do something. i mean, there are serious questions now about whether the president can do something more on his own. the white house said they're evaluating all options. interesting that republicans are pushing him to do more on his own when actually it's often republicans who say the white house shouldn't do more without congress legislating, but on this, they want him to do more on his own, and this is all tied into a bigger ask. obviously the president wants money not only for the border, he wants money for ukraine and israel. yesterday he was sitting next to the german chancellor, and he
